Years fall and all we have left are these hands
Sifting sand, the salted poison of our land
And our will has grown strong, but the path to loam’s a road forlorn
Water drowns when light is gone and night is all we’ve ever known
A passing rise above a groundless plane
Before the shrine built to hope in vain
We’ve always known that Nothing soon would gain
Its calloused way, we let it go too long
Skies roar and all we have left is the sand
Pouring now as blood let from sallow hands
So it seems the echoes drown the notion that we’ve always shown
A faultless stride of weighted stone, but waves are all we’ve ever known
But the tides still draw my eyes, set as blinds that try to hide
The current pushing, pulling
Torn amongst the dead and dying world
And this is all we’ve known
Our hearts turned cold so we can numb our souls
But we still feel the lies we’re told

Occasionally you come across an album that really resonates with you and this is definitely one for me. Every song on here is full of such ethereal melancholy and beauty. Fast becoming a favourite of mine. Fin Doktor
